A slap to the face,
a push to the ground
And you grit your teeth
while they push you around.

The mind-numbing anger,
the fury to shout
Stays bottled inside
to be never let out.

You must deal with the pain
as the laugh in your face.
Taunting and jeering
they show you no grace.

If you try to defend
if you try to fight back
Then they'll beat you again;
they'll really attack.

They taunt you for color
they taunt you for blood.
Could they take the pain?
You don't think they could.

They think that you're different,
that's all they can see.
It's prejudice. Torture.
That's all it could be.
